2018-10-02	hostmem-memfd: add checks before adding hostmem-memfd & properties	Marc-André Lureau
	Run some memfd-related checks before registering hostmem-memfd & various properties. This will help libvirt to figure out what the host is supposed to be capable of. qemu_memfd_check() is changed to a less optimized version, since it is used with various flags, it no longer caches the result.

2018-02-07	Add memfd based hostmem	Marc-André Lureau
	Add a new memory backend, similar to hostmem-file, except that it doesn't need to create files. It also enforces memory sealing. This backend is mainly useful for sharing the memory with other processes. Note that Linux supports transparent huge-pages of shmem/memfd memory since 4.8. It is relatively easier to set up THP than a dedicate hugepage mount point by using "madvise" in /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled. Since 4.14, memfd allows to set hugetlb requirement explicitly. Pending for merge in 4.16 is memfd sealing support for hugetlb backed memory.
